Standard Wheelchairs

These are the largest and most massive wheelchairs that are usually used by individuals. They are most inexpensive and truly reliable. But they have one essential drawback - they are very bulky, and some people have a complicated time summoning their upper body strength to use such chairs, so they cannot travel very easily.

Lightweight Wheelchairs

Lightweight chairs look truly close to standard versions excluding that they are more lightweight and less bulky, accordingly they are more compact. This type of wheelchairs is produced using aluminum or even titanium parts. It is much easier to move around in such chair. The only drawback of such models is that they cannot manage with heavy weights because they can break.

Sport Wheelchairs

Every sport wheelchair is made specially for the sport the user is going to take part in and customized to fit his or her body type. As such chairs are custom made, they are the most expensive models of whelchairs that you can purchase.

Transport Wheelchairs

This type of wheelchairs is more generally used by clinics and hospitals. These models are lightweight, but they are not made to be used daily. Their small size makes them strong enough to be used to carry patients from one place to another in the general conditions.
